Jack's Quilts

We got a lovely surprise through the post all the way from Australia. It was from my friend, Susan, who has the Granny Smith's Quilting blog. If you've looked at her blog, you'll know that she's a wonderful quilter.

A beautiful baby quilt. Susan didn't know whether she was making a quilt for a boy or a girl when she started this but I think it would suit either sex and it's perfect for Jack.

The cute little panels.

I always like to look at the back of a quilt, I think the design shows up much clearer. It's been quilted with butterflies, isn't that lovely.

Susan always names her quilts, this one is called Cuddle Up. Very apt.

Jack's been a very lucky little boy because one of Jacob's relatives has also made him a quilt. How beautiful is this.

Eleanor used to collect all things giraffe themed so this is such a coincidence.

The design on each panel has been stitched, even the writing and those tiny letters are stitched.

People are so generous with their skills and their time, I appreciate how much time these quilts must have taken to make and I know Eleanor is very grateful.

Each of the panels are so cute.

I think these gifts are ones which will be passed down and used by more babies after Jack, heirlooms for sure.

I absolutely love how quilts look and, in theory, would love to be able to make them myself but I just don't have the patience for it in practice, so I'm very grateful that there are others who are so generous making such beautiful gifts for my gorgeous grandson.
